Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 500
architectural series universal interfaces (RGB 500, RGB 500 Dual,
RGB 508, RGB 560, RGB 560 Dual, and RGB 568) and on how to
operate and configure them.
About the RGB 500 Series Interfaces
The RGB 500 Series interfaces are universal, analog, computervideo interfaces with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth. The
series features Extron’s ADSP™ (Advanced Digital Sync
Processing™) to ensure stable sync signal output, while
allowing trouble-free centering control.
Features
RGB 500 Series features
All RGB 500 Series interfaces provide the following features:
Wall and furniture mountability — The RGB 500 Series
interfaces can be easily installed in any wall or hard
surface, such as a podium, desk, or tabletop, using few
tools. Wall studs are not needed for installation.
Digital sync processing — Using regular sync processing to
allow centering control (H-shift) can create problems with
some digital display devices as a result of the sync delay.
Extron’s ADSP™ (Advanced Digital Sync Processing™)
restores a stable sync signal, while allowing centering
control. The RGB 500 Series interfaces also provide
another option, DDSP™ (Digital Display Sync
Processing™), to ensure proper displays without altering
sync pulse timing or width. It may be selected via a
bottom panel DIP switch.
Horizontal shift control — Adjust horizontal centering via a
front panel knob.
RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB outputs — Select the output format
via bottom panel DIP switches.
Serration pulse switch — This DIP switch-selectable feature
adds or strips the serration pulses from the signal to
make it compatible with digital display devices. Use the
serration pulse switch if flagging or bending occurs at the
top of the video display.
Gain/peaking adjustment — Output gain and peaking levels
may be adjusted individually for red, green and blue
channels by using jumpers that are accessible through the
top of the enclosure.
1-2
RGB 500 Series • Introduction
Sync polarity adjustment — Horizontal and vertical sync
output can either follow input sync polarity, or outgoing
sync can be forced to negative via jumper settings.
Vertical sync pulse width adjustment — Vertical sync pulse
width can be adjusted via jumper settings.
Autopower — When a signal is present at the video/sync input,
the interface will power on, and the green LED on the
front panel will light.
Stereo audio — All RGB 500 Series interfaces accept unbalanced
stereo audio and output balanced or unbalanced stereo
audio.
Choice of colors — The RGB 500 Series interfaces are available
with a choice of gray, black or white faceplates to blend
into a variety of installations.
RGB 500, RGB 500 Dual, and RGB 508 feature
Video input termination selection switch — A front panel
toggle switch provides a way to switch between
high Z and 75 ohm video input termination on these
models. Select the video termination impedance that
provides the best picture. Set this switch to High Z if a
local monitor is connected, a laptop breakout cable is
used, or if the picture is too dark. Set this switch to 75
ohms if no local monitor is connected or if the picture is
too bright or blooming (unterminated).
RGB 500 Dual and RGB 560 Dual feature
Two interfaces — The Dual models feature two interfaces with
one integrated faceplate.
RGB 508 and RGB 568 feature
Connector adapter plates — The RGB 508 and RGB 568 offer the
ability to attach up to four optional adapter plates for
user-configurable pass-through connectors.
RGB 560, RGB 560 Dual, and RGB 568 features
Local monitor output connector — A 15-pin HD female local
monitor connector on the front panel simplifies
connections to a local display without the need for
monitor breakout cables.
ID bit termination switch — These models feature front panel
DIP switches to make ID bit termination easy. Use this
feature if no local monitor is connected.

Installation and Operation Instructions
Determining installation location
Select an installation site. The mounting bracket may be
installed in a wall using backing clips or may be installed on a
hard surface, such as a podium, desk, tabletop, or hardwood
wall, using wood/metal screws. Take cabling and power
availability into consideration.
The RGB 500 Series interfaces do not require attachment to wall
studs, so they may be placed almost anywhere on a wall.
Preparing the installation site
Actual size rough-in templates for each model are provided in
Appendix B. Use them as guides to mark and cut the hole in the
wall or furniture through which the interface will be installed.
The innermost line represents the opening where material will
be removed and the mounting bracket will be installed.
1.
Cut out the center portion (up to the guidelines) of the
rough-in template supplied with the mounting bracket.
2.
Place the template on the wall or surface where the
interface will be installed. Use a soft pencil to mark the
guidelines for the opening on the wall.
3.
Connect power cables to the input and output devices.
Turn on the input and output devices.
Cut out the material from the rough-in area with a jigsaw
or small hand saw.
4.
The image should now display on screen. If it does not
display, or if the picture displays incorrectly, double check
and make adjustments to cables, DIP switches and
jumpers as needed. See the “Pre-installation testing/
troubleshooting” section in this chapter.
Check the opening size by inserting the mounting bracket
into the opening. The flat portion should lay snugly on the
wall or surface, and the tabs through which the screws will
be inserted should fit easily into the opening. There
should not be noticeable play within the opening.
5.
If needed, use a saw, file or sandpaper to enlarge the hole.
Smooth the edges of the opening to avoid damage or
Temporarily connect the computer video and audio input
cables and (for RGB 560 and RGB 568 models) the local
monitor output cable. Connect any cables whose signals
will be routed through the optional adaptor pass-through
plates.

Horizontal (H) or composite sync (HV) output connector (H/
HV) — BNC female connector for either separate horizontal sync
or composite sync output.
10
Vertical (V) sync output connector — BNC female connector for
separate vertical sync output.
1 — SOG (sync on green)
ON — When this switch is set to On, (sync on green), the
interface will output sync on green.
OFF — When the SOG feature is set to Off, the interface
will output either separate horizontal and vertical
sync signals (on the H/HV and V connectors) or a
composite sync signal (on the H/HV connector),
depending on how DIP switch 4 is set.
2 — DDSP™ (Digital Display Sync Processing™)
ON — When this switch is set to On, the interface uses
Digital Display Sync Processing instead of
Advanced Digital Sync Processing™. Use this
option if the image still doesn’t display properly
after other options (changes to sync width,
serration pulses and video termination) have been
explored.
DDSP will disable horizontal shift control.
OFF — When this switch is set to Off, the interface uses
ADSP™, Advanced Digital Sync Processing™.
Top panel jumper switches
Video signals passing through long cable runs (over 125 feet)
can decrease in strength, creating signal loss. The longer the
cable, the higher the video level and the greater the peaking
that will be needed to compensate for the loss.
The red, green and blue gain/peaking adjustment jumper
switches are located on the top of the RGB 500 Series interfaces.
You will need needlenosed pliers to reach and move the
jumpers. Select the setting that yields the best image display.
Use the diagram on the product label, shown in the illustration,
as a guide to setting the output gain/peaking for each color.
3 — SERR (serration pulse)
Many display devices, including LCD and DLP projectors
and plasma displays, must not have serration pulses in the
vertical sync signal in order to display properly. Flagging
or bending at the top of the video image is a sign that the
serration pulses should be removed.
ON — When this switch is set to On, serration pulses will
be output.
OFF — When this switch is set to Off, serration pulses will
not be output.
4 — Composite sync
ON — When this switch is set to On, a composite sync
signal (H and V combined) will be output on the
connector labeled “H/HV”.
OFF — When this switch is set to Off, horizontal sync will
be output on the connector labeled “H/HV”, and
vertical sync will be output on the “V” connector.

Connecting input cables
At this point the input cables should be connected so that the
display can be tested and any necessary changes to switch
settings can be made before the interface is installed into the
wall or furniture.
Connect the input cables temporarily for testing, then
disconnect them later so the interface can be installed in the
wallplate and the faceplate attached to the interface. Input
cables can be reconnected after the interface and faceplate are
attached to the installation surface.

2.
3.
Turn on the input device(s) (computer) and output
device(s) (projector and/or monitor). The image should
now display on the screen.
Mounting the interface to the mounting bracket
1.
Temporarily disconnect the computer video and audio
input cables and (for the RGB 560 series and RGB 568
series) the local monitor output cable from the front panel
of the interface.
2.
For all models, attach the interface to the mounting
bracket with one 3/8” (0.95 cm) long #4-40 machine screw
(provided) inserted through the tab at the top of the
enclosure, as shown below.
If the image is not displayed at all, double-check cable
connections, and ensure that all devices have power and
are turned on. For the RGB 500 series and RGB 508 series,
try changing the video termination toggle switch setting.
For the RGB 560 series and RGB 568 series, if no local
monitor is present, change the ID bit termination via the
front panel DIP switch, then reboot the computer.

If the image appears, but it looks scrambled or cuts in and
out, check the bottom and front panel DIP switch and
jumper settings. If all switches are already set to what
should be the correct settings for the connected input and
output devices, try different settings.
2-16
5.
If the image displays and is stable, but it has a greenish
tint, it may be a result of using video input with sync on
green. Incoming sync on green will not be stripped from
the green signal by the interface.
6.
If the image appears and is stable, but it has ghosting or
blooming, change the video input termination. If
changing the termination doesn’t solve the problem, try
using a different input cable.
7.
For further assistance, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical
Support Hotline.
8.
Once the image displays correctly on screen, you may
adjust the horizontal centering using the front panel knob,
though this adjustment must be made each time the
interface is turned on.
